Is spring break capitalized?

In general, spring break is not capitalized (e.g., “We’re going to Mexico for spring break”). Seasons are common nouns and are not capitalized.

However, when referring to a specific holiday period (e.g., “Spring Break 2025 will be March 10–15”), the phrase can be capitalized.

A QuillBot grammar check can help you use capitalization correctly.

Are seasons capitalized?

No, the names of seasons (e.g., spring, fall) are not capitalized because they are common nouns.

The names of days and months (e.g., “Tuesday,” “April”) are proper nouns, though, so they are capitalized.
